    Features

    Currently in alpha status, Learn features the ability to:

    • Create flashcards rendered in ASCII text or using LaTeX commands
    • Review flashcards to study for upcoming exams
    • View statistics on how their knowledge is progressing
    • Keep track of grades received on assignments / exams
    • Calculate grades required on assignments / exams to receive a desired final grade

    Features scheduled to be added to Learn before the first major release include:

    • Adding a scheduler to tell students exactly what to do each day in order to get all work done
    • Allowing students to add details of readings that must be completed so that the scheduler can tell a student how many pages must be read each night in order to complete all readings related to an upcoming assignment/exam
    • Adding a calendar (day view, week view, and month view) so that a student can see what is coming up in the future

    Where to get Acadevia Learn

    Check out Acadevia Learn today, and be sure to give me your feedback so that I can improve the product for all. Remember, though, it is an alpha version, so be nice! :)

    • @salout_de True, but I didn't claim it was efficient -- just quick and easy. :) In truth, the arrays I'm working with are quite short. 04:37:20 PM March 03, 2010 from Echofonin reply to salout_de
